2022 Topps Archives Blaster!

More Cards! Today, let's try another box of 2022 Topps Archives. I know I opened one of these not too long ago, but it's always good to open more. Right? Plus, with so many different designs in one set, it's almost like a new set every time. It makes it all a lot more fun.

How did this box go? Let's find out!

Still love how Topps went with the archive feel on the box as well.

And the packs as well.

So, "archive" on top of "archive" on this one. A player from 100 years ago on a design from 45 years ago. I'd say it just works.

Not a Red Sox card, but I had to wonder if the ad placement behind Johnson was intentional. 

Oooh. Lookie here. I never get a Red Sox hit, so this was pretty cool. Even if it's Pedroia. I love the 1992 Topps design on this card. The colored borders really work with the rest of the card. Simply elegant.

And there we go. Not many Sox cards, but quality definitely made up for the lack of quantity. I'll take that trade any day.

Even the box has a throwback feel to it. I like that.

And the packs.

Nice shot of Verdugo floating away into the clouds. The shot does give a 1978 vibe to me.

Yeah, it's the 1987 Topps design repeated for the 36,000th time. But, I don't care. It's still fun. But it could be more fun.

And another shot of clouds with a Red Sox player in the way. This one a nice rookie card.

And there you have it. A rookie, and two other Sox. Not exactly a monster haul. At least the Red Sox are all on different designs. That's where the fun comes from.

More Cards! Today, let's try some 2022 Topps Archives. I haven't opened any of this on here yet this year that I can see. This product is always fun to open with the different designs giving the process lots of variety. Especially when they drift into designs that weren't quite mainstream. There are so many options for Topps to explore.

How did this box go? Let's find out!

The box itself, showing off that variety I was talking about.

And the packs...completely lacking in any sort of variety,

Fun rookie card of Jarren Duran. Like I said, they have so many designs to choose from, it's annoying they picked this one.

Even when it's a card of your newest Hall of Famer David Ortiz. This is a nice card, though.

And this also goes for this design. Sure, it's a fun design. But when it's used so much as an insert set design in the regular packs, seems unnecessary to use it here. I've said before that it wouldn't be hard to come up with some sort of schedule so that Archives, Heritage, and the inserts don't repeat designs very often. Always great to get a new Pedro card though.

Yup. I'm not ready for this yet.

And there you have it. A rookie, and three former Sox. As far as variety, the Sox didn't exactly display that in this case with only two designs represented. Oh well.
